This NYC Building Inspired The Last Beatles' Song Ever Written
Briefly

Lennon resided in the Dakota for seven years until his death in 1980, where he owned five units totaling 6,000 square feet.
'Now and Then' was initially written in the 70s but went unfinished until its 2023 release, helped by AI, reflecting the evolution of music technology.
A majority of 'Now and Then's lyrics came directly from Lennon during his Dakota years, emphasizing the importance of environment on a songwriter's creative process.
The Dakota, a historical site, continues to symbolize Lennon's legacy, inviting fans and visitors to explore the very building he called home.
